I mean, as much as I feel bad for what happened to him, he has chosen to live a life where he consistently flaunts the little fame he has, the few thousand he got from his first record, and the "YouTube dance craze" he supposedly set up. When you flaunt everything, you automatically make yourself more vulnerable. Hopefully he'll learn not to have such a big ego.

And Sam, the 'sympathy sells record' method only seems to work when the singer him/herself dies. Case in point: Jennifer Hudson. Her mother was killed, not her, and for that reason, her debut album and single didn't take off after the incident.
